Re: brakes & rotors
Spend a few $ more and use Hawk HPS pads.
You'll be glad you did. Bleed the brakes while you're at it...

That said, applying ≈ 2-3mm layer of RTV to the back of brake pads prior to installation on various vehicles has resulted in NO, ZERO, NADDA squeal on any vehicle I've installed pads on for over a couple decades. (It was a set of pads I bought years ago that came with a tube of RTV and directions as to its application to prevent squeal. It worked, and so became my personal SOP.) |
